MajorGeeks Another decent site with a much smaller quantity of software than compared to Softpedia/CNET. They also have a much lower quantity of software but still their selection is crap in my opinion. I would avoid them if i were you, as its unlikely they will have something the others don't. Softonic I have only used this site for games and the general impression I got is they don't care about their software selection, they can put absolute crap next to decent software. They also clearly mark what is free and what isn't and they rarely get them wrong. I get the impression they have fewer but better software which is a plus. Younger and leaner in my opinion they have a tiny selection of applications but are better categorized, the reviews seem to be more accurate and the overall quality just seems better.

They also have a pretty decent driver list which can help if the manufacturer's site no longer hosts them or is missing.

But Softpedia has a few tricks up its sleeve, for example they have a small but usable selection of Android apps and games, and you can download them directly from the site. But just like CNET they suffer from poor search capabilities, even though they do have it its hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. IMHO Softpedia has a better reputation, they scan their software library for malware and you can comment on software without needing an account, unlike CNET. Softpedia: Along with CNET downloads, these 2 sites seem to host one of the largest libraries of software I am aware of (for Windows anyway). edit: But it can help you find software on more obscure platforms eg Palm OS. You then end up wading through pages of junk to hopefully get to what you want.

Poor search for certain types of software, you might only be interested in full products instead of add-ons or extensions for software but there isn't any way to properly filter them out. Their huge library also means there is a huge quality difference between the good and the bad. Some of the problems are poor search and categorization, some software is categorized as free, but in reality are free to try. even though for some reason I get the original installer without the added crust the overall experience of the site leaves a lot to be desired. If you are not happy with none from above or if you don't have the patience to browse a site from above, search, read, and learn just use, a site that offers a small, but popular selection of software that doesn't care any sponsored offers and other malware.ĬNET Downloads: Avoid them as much as you can. handpicked software (free and paid - clearly marked sometimes when the case requires the offered adware software bundles.Ĭ - handpicked software (free and paid - clearly marked sometimes when the case requires the offered adware software bundles.Ĭ - handpicked software (only freeware software, the only one that doesn't offer any adware bundle - all the software available there is Clean 100%) Video / Audio / Media / Playback / Encoding / Editing / Converting software sites: handpicked software (free and paid)į - handpicked software (freeware)į - handpicked software (free and paid)į - handpicked software (free and paid) Use - they also offer perhaps a little over 3% of software which carries ads but, in contrast with the other sites from above, those files are clearly marked as containing sponsored offers which are easy to uninstall or to remove.Īnother good one is - the same with - their software library is bigger and thus the percent of sponsored software available is bigger. Softonic play the same game more or less, meaning that a lot of the software available on their site is bundled with ads or a modified (monetized) setup/installer version so they can pay the bills but, in the same time, people are unaware of that kind of practice, and often a lot users which downloaded their modified installers complain about ads, spyware and other annoying elements. Often the software available on / ZDNET / CNET are bundled with toolbars, ads and other unwanted components while keeping the users uninformed about what are they carrying.

Now about the safeness controversy: / ZDNET / CNET offer trial (30 free to try software), as well as Open Source and freeware software (free to use without any limitations) but there are few aspects worth mentioning: in my experience, over 15 years dealing with software of all kind, / ZDNET / CNET have very little control over what software are they offering or simply, their editors doesn't care. Softonic is a Spanish company with the same purpose as above sites which is to offer software downloads over the web. CNET / / ZDNET: all 3 of them are more or less the same since are owned by the same company, CBS Interactive.
